It's simply the evolution of our species.
I mean look at religion...
First humanity started out... Worshiping animals right?
Then as we grew to be a more dominant species, so we then believed god must be more like us than animals.
That's when multiple gods came, and this fit the needs of that society at that time. It was their explination for the things they couldn't find answers for.
Then came Monotheism... and now we are at the point of thiesm.
Science, psychology, and logic have become the new religion.
They are the philosophies that serve the same purpose as the old religions it explains what we don't understand, in a way that makes more sence to us than stories in a book.
People have grown to the point where they need to seek out answers for themselves instead of allowing it to be spoon fed to them by their parents/society/culture. Quite frankly religion can't give us the answers we need.
Todays god is dieing, just as the olympian gods did. Our society needs more than our gods have to offer.
